This race Wa a very interesting one
from start to finish, being we'll and
pluckily rowed, and, it is thought, with
out protest. The start was very well
made, all the crews taking the water
we'll together; but the Violet took the
lead for short distance. The stroke of
the red-capped Mohicans was winning
one, however, and that boat came back
the victor in 80 :25; the Vandalia second
in 81 AZ.

This closing event on the days pro-
gramme brought in only five boats as
seekers after consolation. The start was
quickly effected, and although the Mo
hican crew had had hardly time enough
to get their second wind after their hard
pull in the 18th event, the KaneOlani
"a six-oared gig), pulled by the Mohi-
cans, came in winner in 1912, beating
the barge GA oars) and Vandalia six
cared gig, II IA. 1t is but fair to say
that the distance rowed was short-to
the buoy off the Marine Railway and
return-and the water was too rough for
the four-oared gig.
The judges hauled their flag down at
4 80 and quickly deserted the tug Pele.
which had partly sheltered two of them,
Lieut.. Miriam and Capt. j. A. King,
from the inclemency of the weather dur
ing the day. Mr.. j. d. Spreckels, the
other member of the board of Judges,
did excellent duty on board the tug Eleu
which followed the yacht and other
principal races that took place in deep
water. Messrs. Spear and Hubash, the
timekeekers, were also stationed in the
Pele, and their time taking will un-
doubtedly prove satisfactory.
The Regatta Committee, Messrs.
Iaukea, Wilson and Glffard, are to be
congratulated upon the success which
has attended their efforts in attempting
to cater to the pleasure of the public,
and also are deserving of praise for the
provisions made to guard against acct
dents on the course.
The inclement weather made the
duties of the Reception Committee less
laborious than they would otherwise
have been, but the courtesy and urbanity
of the Messrs. Spencer, Patty and Mather
is proverbial and the guests on the
flagship w. @. Hall acknowledge their
attentions. Berger and the band were
stationed on the Interisland wharf dur
ing the afternoon, and played numerous
selections of music.
The Inter-Island Steamship Co. with
their usual desire to accommodate, placed
their wharf at the disposal of the Re-
gatta Committee as we'll as the steamer
w. q. Hall. A portion of the wharf was
reserved for use by members of the royal
family, and during the day H. r. H.
Princess Liliuokalani, His Excellency
Governor j. O. Dominis, members of the
Cabinet, and Government officers occu-
pied seats there. The Diplomatic and
Consular corps were received on board
the steamer w. G. Hall.
